What we would give if we could say, “Hello Dad or Grandpa,” to hear your voice or see your smile, to sit with you and chat awhile. So you who have a father or grandfather cherish him with care, for you will never know the heartache ‘til you see his vacant chair. In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a memory no one can ever fill. It breaks our heart to lose you, but you did not go alone, for part of us went with you the day God called you home.
